Proxy Report 29/06/2018

In 2017, Icade bought Eurazeo and Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC's stakes in ANF Immobilier then launched a simplified takeover offer. On February 12, 2018, both companies announced the merger of ANF Immobilier into Icade. This EGM aims to approve this merger. Parity ratio (3 Icade's shares for 11 ANF's shares) presents a slight discount compared to companies' share price; however it remains acceptable. Moreover, this merger seems to strategically benefit to Icade's shareholders and no significant negative impact on Icade's shareholding or governance has been identified.
